Residents are being encouraged to have their say in future plans for Dumbarton’s Artizan
Centre.
Consideration is being given to how the area can be enhanced to create a better link to the town
centre, and encourage future investment on the High Street.
A consultation event is taking place on Thursday 7 April, within Auntie’s Tea Room in the
Artizan Centre.
Officers will be on hand between 10am and 4pm to listen to feedback and give information on
potential development opportunities for the centre.
Feedback can also be provided through an online survey by visiting: Artizan Centre
Redevelopment Survey
Peter Hessett, Chief Officer for Regulatory and Regeneration said: “We really value the input
our residents give us, and encourage them to come along and let us know how they use the
area, and what changes they would like to see.
“We want to make these enhancements work for our residents and will work with them closely
as the project progresses.”

A walk through our high street used to be fairly pleasant, today as we went to the little butcher shop (highly recommended for square sausage) within what is left of the Bell Centre market, there was a man lying in the doorway of a shop with a bottle, glass on the pavement everywhere, another group of characters up to whatever and someone throwing endless amounts of seeds to pigeons.
Most of the place needs bulldozed.
Sad
If the police got out of their vehicles now and again, it would help to cure this. Even if they could commit to a couple of weeks, not just at weekends but every day. It doesn’t help to say ‘ach, it’s alright’ because it’s not, and the people who tell you it’s alright know that it is not.
